Common/accepted in email, in my experience.  Not so with BBS messaging.

Then you are outside the norm of behavior.

Well, you *are* arguing, about things you appear to not know much about.

It's not the "accepted norm" for BBS message exchanging.  You can 
believe that, or not, but it's true regardless.

You're right on one thing - you can do it your way if you'd like.  You 
will likely find that you'll get pushback like this; or you'll be 
ignored and not get replies that you want.  Your choice.
